The study of coins and medals is called numismatics. It also includes the study of other currency units, such as tokens and paper money, and the means of payment used to exchange goods and settle debts. Numismatists study the physical properties of coins, such as their appearance, year of production, and metallurgy. They also consider the historical, political, and economic context in which the coins were produced. Numismatics is different from collecting coins because it involves scientific research. All numismatists are coin collectors, but not all coin collectors are numismatists. The term "numismatics" comes from the French word numismatiques, which comes from the Latin word numismatis.
